PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Third intention healing, or-delayed primary closure, occurs when the wound is intentionally left open for four to five days. The wound is not closed until edema has subsided, no infection is present, and all debris and exudate have been removed.

Detailed explanation-2: -In delayed primary closure, the wound is first cleaned and observed for a few days to ensure no infection is apparent before it is surgically closed. Examples of wounds that are closed in this way include traumatic injuries such as dog bites or lacerations involving foreign bodies.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wounds can be closed primarily in the emergency department (ED) by the placement of sutures, surgical staples, skin closure tapes, and adhesives.

Detailed explanation-4: -And with wound healing, there are three types of wound closure techniques to consider to achieve this-primary intention, secondary intention, and tertiary intention.
